A member asked:

If lymphocytes were in a decline trend is almost certain other blood counts in a cbc would change also if so which ones and in which direction thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The number of lymphocytes is independent of other WBCs and is influenced primarily by response to infections, one of which, HIV, results in a low lymphocyte count. Hodgkin's disease may also cause this.
